Notes on Basic Tunings

Written By: Chris Email: iguana_dude@sbcglobal.net

Below I will show you the notes for three different tunings:
-Standard: EADGBE
-Drop D: DADFBE
-Drop C: CGCFAD
This comes in handy when transcribing music from different
tunings. I personally am not a fan of alternate tunings. I
think its annoying having to stop and tune my guitar. Why
bother telling you this anyways, I know you really dont
care. Email me any mistakes, I havent read this over yet.
